‘Singles’ has released a visual pictorial of The Boyz.
In the released pictorial, The Boyz members caught everyone‘s attention with their perfect combination of sophisticated suit styling and unique casual looks. The Boyz showed off their diverse charms with a combination of intense red and classic tones, while adding to the mood of the pictorial with poses and facial expressions that brought out their individuality, revealing The Boyz’s strong presence.
The Boyz recently met fans at their fan meeting ‘THE B LAND’, where they performed their debut song ‘Boy’ for the first time. Member New said, “We prepared it as the first stage because we thought the fans would want to see The Boyz‘s ‘Boy’ stage in school uniforms the most. It’s a meaningful debut song to both us and the fans”. Kevin said, “When we first entered the stage on a balloon and each of us went to our respective boy seats, it was a scene from the first scene of the ‘Boys’ music video. The fans probably didn‘t know that.” Younghoon said, “In the past, when preparing for a concert, I felt pressured to ’do well no matter what,‘ but this time, I think I was able to let go of that pressure and think, ’I have to go crazy with the boys.‘” He shared his thoughts on this performance.
The Boyz received the response of ’a new concert hotspot‘ through this performance. Joo Haknyeon said, “It’s a place we see more at the beginning of the year than at the end of the year, and since it‘s a fan concert, we carefully composed the setlist by picking the fans’ favorite songs from number 1 to 100.” He revealed the efforts they put into preparing for the stage.
The Boyz practice and prepare for the stage in their own way and constantly strive to show their best. Sunwoo said, “I constantly imagine and simulate. ‘Imaginations like ‘You should do these expressions and gestures for this part’ Jacob said, “I try not to be satisfied. I think that growth stops the moment you are satisfied. I think that while monitoring, I accept both my strengths and weaknesses and try to develop further. ” The Boyz, which is celebrating its 8th debut anniversary, is about to begin a new journey with a new company. When asked about the areas that The Boyz would like to pioneer in the future, Younghoon said, “People may know The Boyz, but not many people know The Boyz songs perfectly. So since we have a new start, I want to create a hit song that represents The Boyz. ” Kevin added, “If I may add a little more, I hope we have a strong image as a ‘self-made’ group. There are many members in our team who are good at writing lyrics and composing songs. ”I‘m looking forward to it because we have an in-house producer and CEO who will support us musically,“ she said, expressing her desire to self-produce.
Regarding the 11 Princesses performance at the fan concert, Juyeon said, ”It was a stage planned to repay the love of fans, so we were able to stand on stage comfortably and show ourselves. However, the response was better for wearing princess dresses once than for a fancy stage that we prepared for months.“ Eric said, ”I think I’ll never forget the look on Derby‘s face when our eyes met when we approached the fans wearing princess dresses. He was so shocked. Even when I sleep, I think of that expression. I want to apologize if he got scared. However, he said, “At first I was embarrassed, but after three days, I started enjoying it more and more.”
When asked if there was a record that The Boyz, who had a successful year last year by achieving half a million sellers with their 9th mini-album ‘Dofuse (導火線)’, wanted more of, Q said, “Of course, it would be nice to have records, but right now, rather than any record or goal, I think it’s more important to know what kind of mindset I had when making an album and what kind of time I spent on it.” Sangyeon added, “If you chase records, you won‘t be happy. I think that if you work hard at what you’re given and what you want to do, the records will follow,” emphasizing that they will continue to work healthily and happily.
The Boyz evaluated the fact that all members signed full-group contracts as “one of our most memorable high points” and looked forward to their future together. The members mentioned the performance before their enlistment and revealed their goal of “performing at Jamsil Main Stadium, where everyone has fulfilled their duties and we are waiting for the day when we can stand on stage again as a complete group, is the highest point for The Boyz.”
The Boyz will return with a new album in March. They currently answered about this album, “I‘m looking forward to it because I think we’ll be able to show music that is definitely different from the music we‘ve shown in the past 7 years.” They also said, “Our performances were so intense that I couldn’t do what I wanted and I felt resentful of my body, but thinking back now, I think that process helped us grow. There were many times when The Boyz didn‘t fear when faced with difficult tasks and confronted them, turning them into opportunities,” expressing their determination.
The Boyz plans to continue enjoying their music and performances rather than focusing on records, and to continue making precious memories with their fans. The interview and pictorial filled with The Boyz’s passion can be found in the March issue of Singles and on the website.
